After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 728 Less than a hundred left, a visit in the night.

Beneath them was a soft, fragrant, all-natural grass carpet, and the surrounding air was free of the nuisance of small flying insects. Even the distant sounds of cattle and sheep seemed like a hypnotic background noise, and the guests almost fell asleep right there.

It was only when the crew members saw that the sun was getting lower and lower and the sky was getting darker that they realized it would be really late if they didn't go back soon, and they couldn't help but call out to wake them up.

"So comfortable," Guan Jing said reluctantly as she sat up, patting her face to encourage herself, "Recharged!"

The viewers in the live stream couldn't stop laughing at her self-talk.

[Solar power?]

No, this is replenishing vital energy; it looks like it's brimming with it.

It was indeed a very fulfilling day.

Chasing the last sliver of flickering dawn, the electric tricycle sped towards Xunwei Xiaozhu.

When I got back to my lodgings, the last rays of light were just falling on the horizon.

"I did a quick calculation of our remaining funds on the way back," Guan Jing said, organizing the groceries she brought back from the farm. She glanced at everyone in the living room. "I accidentally overspent on breakfast at the morning market. Although we didn't spend any money at the village chief's house for lunch, I couldn't resist buying so much stuff at the farm this afternoon. Now we only have a little over 200 left out of the 300. What about you guys?"

Chi Song reached into his pocket, quickly counted the money, and said, "I'm about the same."

Yuan Chaoyu: "I have 240 left."

Guan Jing gave her a thumbs up, "Sixty a day is just right, you've got the control pretty precise. What about Han Ying?"

Jiang Hanying was holding a passion fruit in one hand and a sugarcane in the other. She took a bite of the passion fruit and then used the sugarcane juice to smooth it down. When she was called over, she saw that both her hands were busy, so she simply stuffed the sugarcane into her mouth and bit down. She took out the remaining money from her pocket, put it on the coffee table, glanced at it, and said, "A hundred, less than that?"

There was a moment of silence in the living room.

A few seconds later, Guan Jing spoke again, suggesting, "How about we skip the village canteen tonight and use the ingredients we bought today to make dinner?"

They immediately nodded in unison.

That will save you ten yuan.

Although they could eat in without paying, they were clearly not that shameless.

Soon the kitchen was bustling with activity.

Guan Jing and Yue Zhuo, who both know how to cook, are a team and are in charge of cooking.

Even those who didn't know how to do it weren't idle; they assisted the two of them.

After working for more than half an hour, dinner was finally ready.

The main dish was a big pot of instant noodles sponsored by the brand, along with eggs I picked at the farm this afternoon and some hand-picked green vegetables. It looked pretty good.

Guan Jing also made a mixed vegetable salad, which is basically a mixture of various leafy green vegetables.

Yuezhuo made scrambled eggs with vinegar and peppers and stir-fried pea shoots.

It could be considered a meal with both meat and vegetables, albeit a compromise.

Chi Song took out a few more bottles of sponsored drinks from the refrigerator, and the group sat down at the table and couldn't wait to start eating.

Guan Jing completely forgot about what she had said during the day, "I'll only eat vegetable salad at night," and ate a bowl of instant noodles without even looking up.

Although I ate quite a lot during the day and had a snack at the farm in the afternoon, the amount of food consumed and the amount of energy burned off from running around all day meant that my mouth started watering as soon as I smelled the food.

The five of them managed to finish the last simple meal, even sharing the last bit of instant noodle soup with Jiang Hanying and Chi Song.

After cleaning up the dining table and finishing cooking a meal, the kitchen was a complete mess, and when I checked the time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

As Guan Jing sat down on the sofa to rest, she couldn't help but yawn, wiping away the tears that had welled up in her eyes. "Why am I sleepy again? I feel like I fall asleep really early since I came here." Yuan Chaoyu walked over and overheard her, nodding in agreement. "Me too, it's probably because it's quieter here than in the city."

[To be honest, every time I go back to my hometown, I go to bed early and get up early, and I'm so sleepy I can't stay up past 9 or 10 p.m. But once I'm back in the city, I instantly become a night owl, and I'm wide awake even at 1 or 2 a.m.]

[The guests were probably also physically tired; they all walked an average of 30,000 steps that day!]

If you're tired, go to bed early. You'll be a hero again tomorrow morning!

Guan Jing didn't force herself to stay in front of the camera any longer; she went to sleep when she was tired.

After saying goodbye to the PD and the other guests, I went upstairs first.

Seeing this, Yue Zhuo also prepared to get up and leave, but Jiang Hanying reached out and pressed him back down, saying, "Wait a while before you leave."

"what?"

Although Yue Zhuo didn't understand why, he obediently sat back down.

Seeing that the guests were all getting ready to rest, the live stream was wisely shut down.

Anyway, there's plenty of material to shoot today, enough to roughly edit two episodes, so I don't mind spending a little more time in the evening.

The staff also left to rest, and the entire Xunwei Xiaozhu became even quieter.

Jiang Hanying went upstairs to the second floor and first brought in the coat that had been drying on the terrace. Just as she was about to go inside, Yuan Chaoyu, who had just come up, stopped her again, "You'll be washing up later..."

"You can go first."

"Okay, I'll wash quickly."

"No need to rush, you can take your time washing it."

When Yuan Chaoyu returned to her room and was getting ready to change her clothes, she heard the door next door open and close, followed by footsteps passing by her door and then the sound of people coming downstairs.

When she got up and opened the door, she saw that Jiang Hanying's room was closed and the lights were off, so she couldn't help but frown.

Why did I go down again after just coming up?
"elder sister."

Chi Song also went back to her room on the first floor to wash up, leaving only Yue Zhuo sitting obediently on the sofa in the living room.

Jiang Hanying came down the stairs and waved to him, "Let's go."

"Ah? Where to go?"

"Go see your third grandfather."

Yue Zhuo scratched his head, and seeing that the person was about to leave through the door, he quickly followed.

Chi Song stood behind the window of the first-floor bedroom, watching two figures walk out of Xunwei Xiaozhu, and paused in his action of taking off his clothes.

Jiang Hanying glanced back at his window, then looked away without much concern.

“Your house is quite close to the village chief’s house.”

"Yes, it's just across the alley, opposite each other."

Although it was only a little past eight o'clock at night, the entire Yuejia Village had already quieted down, with only the occasional bark of a dog carried from afar.

Yue Zhuo stepped forward first and pushed open the door, which was only slightly ajar. He saw that the lights near the corridor in the courtyard were on, and the light extended all the way to the front door.

Meanwhile, my third grandfather, who should have been resting at this time, was sitting in the corridor at the table he usually used to write and drink tea. The kettle on the red clay stove next to him was still steaming. Was he planning to make tea?
Making tea late at night... He suddenly turned his head to look at the person who was about to step in.

Did Third Grandfather already know that my sister would come over with him after filming the show that night?
But when exactly did the two of them make that agreement?
They clearly didn't say anything during lunch!
